What number should be subtracted from (3/7) to get (5/4)?

Answer»

Given (3/7)

Let the required number be x

(3/7) – x = (5/4)

– x = (5/4) – (3/7)

The LCM of 4 and 7 is 28

Consider (5/4) = (5/4) × (7/7) = (35/28)

Again (3/7) = (3/7) × (4/4) = (12/28)

On substituting

-x = (35/28) – (12/28)

– x = (35 -12)/28

– x = (23/28)

x = (-23/28)
